:eek: BLASPHEMY :spit::scowl:







Once you FEEL (not just hear) that low D, you'll find yourself using it more and more, and pretty soon you'll be hooked. You may even evolve :ninja: into using the open B :bassist::D.



I'm just messin'. Have fun with her! And, I can't believe she came w/ a double gigbag :rollno:!! You could probly sell that and have less than 1k in the bass..... unbelievable!!

OR you could just send it to me with my Glaub and I will send you some extra money.

^^^ THIS sounds like a great idea!

Contact Leo , US body with a Skyline neck.
Don't know if he still has it or not.

:cool:
Is that a single pickup decade?:hyper:
Tell me more.
 
Had to cure my P GAS somehow, and was too late to get Terry's DSed one :crying:. So.... considering my love for Fralin's J pups, I figured I'd like their Ps as well. And, I'm also not too fond of the wide-nutted P necks. So, I went with this one :hyper:.

I'll tune her a step down or BEAD, dunno yet.

This'll be my first "real" P bass in 20 years of playing. And, I've NEVER used one in a band setting, just tinkered at home on a Squier and a crappy Kay copy. I've always said that "I'm not a P bass guy". Well, it's time to see what all the hubbub has been about for the last half decade or so :D.
 
It still is 5J #01...it's just not 3TB anymore..

I figured if I threw out to the Forums that I was having it re-finished I would be told it was Blasphemy and I didn't want to hear it. I’ve wanted to do this for a while.

It's never going to be for sale and it's already paid for itself 10 times over...so I took the plunge and had it redone…I love how it looks and it still sounds phenomenal.

To me personally…and I know not everyone agrees…the value of any Bass is primarily in the neck. I would NEVER mess with the neck on this one.

All in all I’m happy with my decision…now for a PG choice!!!!:cool:

Hey, wasn't that JO5 number 1, the first one built?
 
I agree Ferg. I mean, we're not talking about 40 yr old F***ers here. And, I don't think any bass being built now will ever command the value of the vintage Ps and Js (not that I'd want one anyways).

So, I say way to go man!
 
Yes it is, I got it for $1150 and was totally shocked when it arrived in a double gig bag... very nice.
She will stretch her legs tonight in rehearsal at full volume... I cant wait!!!!
... and it's the model with the built in thumb rest!!!

Nice! Are you going to leave it the way it is or refin....well...if you decide to keep it:-)
 
Cool you got it! Nice dude!:hyper:

I know it's not a Lakland, but perhaps you should consider one of these for that gig...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Um, so I just got a little freaked out by a gig I have on Friday.

Now, I'm not normally superstitious, but the show is on Friday the 13th. And if that wasn't enough, it's at a summer camp...

Does this situation sound familiar to anyone else???
